....to wait for them to come where I expect, hoping they stays there long time enough to focus, press the shutter button, and see they just fly away. A great patience lesson. And first use of my brand new tele 2X expander (coupled with my Sigma EX 70-200@200mm (600mm equiv))

DOF is very good, although I wonder why parts of the bird seem a little unsharp. There seems to be a quite heavy colored reflection on his belly, would have been nice if you could have corrected that.
This looks a little soft, and the colors could be a little richer, maybe some more saturation, but other than that it is a nice image. I like the composition and the dof is good.
Nice overall composition but I think it could have been cropped a bit more off the top. Focus also is a bit off as details seem to be lost on the bird.
This is such a nice capture and you have used nice DOF and framed the bird well. I am unsure if there is something that could be done about that in the original but the overal focus of the image is not very good. That is too bad for such a nice capture. There is some noise in the background but you could easily get rid of that with noise reduction software such as NeatImage.
Good DOF, and composition. I like the color contrast.It looks like you ended up focusing on the feet of the subject. The composition would be stronger with more of a head centric focus. 5
